Chris, by doing this Merc with a Temu kit you have hit the nail right on the head! Most people cant afford the custom stuff from the top makers, By doing this you have showed that 'Mr Average' can do it too. Well done mate

eastern europe and asian car tuners have been doing this stuff for a while. as shipping from china is much cheaper for them. here in usa when rebuilding a salvage it makes the most sense to get used OEM parts vs waiting weeks and paying high shipping for chinese parts. but i love the conversions that alibaba body kits can do. dudes turn their older model mercs and bmws to look like newer models. even changing the interior sometimes. theres a channel autobahn thailand on youtube that converted a g20 3 series into a yellow g80 M3 and did it spot on

@@ginco_bnz my local newspaper reported there was a Ferrari impounded not so long ago for having no front number plate… I believe you can also get up to a £1000 fine and 3 points on your licence, but points are bad, because after 12 points you lose your licence for like at least a year or more, which means no driving any cars, besides, insurance in the UK goes off no claims or penalty points, where my ford focus is like £400 a year to insure, with 3 points it would probably be £1000 a year to insure, even more with more points, then with a historic ban from driving maybe £3000 a year to insure… I have zero points and like 15 years no claims, you never want to lose any of that shit lol
